# Specifying BPM

In the next step you have to specify the tempo of the song as a [BPM ](/karedi/next-level/txt-file-format/tags/bpm.md)(beats per minute) value.

## Where can I find the BPM?

To learn the tempo of the song, you can e.g. use MixMeister BPM Analyzer program, it will automatically find it out for you. Just open the application and drag & drop the mp3 file of our song to see the BPM:

![](/files/92lg5fJUIasFyu9OD7dL)

If you paste the value into the Karedi popup you may see a warning. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see the following message:

![](/files/nN22crh5uTncs9OCpB2V)

The BPM of the song is too low for comfortable work in the editor so you should double it until it falls in the right range by pressing the button with ">>" symbol:

![](/files/NosZk2O6AzqgLVfYJNDL)

You can also divide the BPM by 2 by clicking the button with the "<<" symbol.

Setting the valid BPM is very important. Remember that the duration of the beat (smallest unit of time in Ultrastar format) in milliseconds directly depends on the BPM value. Go to the section focused on BPM to learn more.
